Rabat – Tunis hosted today a ceremony where Abdellatif Hammouchi, Morocco’s Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance (DGSN), received the Prince Nayef First-Class Medal for Arab Security.
The distinction recognizes key security figures who contribute to regional stability.
The announcement took place during the 42nd session of the Arab Interior Ministers Council.
Organizers described the award as a tribute to Hammouchi’s role in advancing joint security efforts and reinforcing Arab presence in international discussions on security matters.
Prince Nayef Medal ranks among the top Arab awards.
Authorities reserve it for figures who exercise strong influence in safeguarding stability and solving security problems that extend across borders.
Secretariat of the award reported the influence of Hammouchi and quoted what they referred to as “effective efforts” in consolidating security cooperation on the regional level.
In November 2024, Hammouchi headed Morocco’s delegation to the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly in Glasgow, Scotland, where the focus was on comprehensive security and international police collaboration.
At the end of the session, Hammouchi was also presented with the INTERPOL flag, symbolically signaling the handover to Morocco, host nation of the 93rd General session in Marrakech in 2025.
This is a reflection of Morocco’s plans to broaden its role as a significant security pillar.
As threats evolve, officials such as Hammouchi remain at the forefront of spearheading regional initiatives, highlighting the networked character of security work across borders.
